This session will give you

A quick 6 point check list from A to F to look, feel and sound confident in any situation.

Vocal techniques for controlling your breath and your voice

A vocal quality that instills trust

A boost in self confidence and self esteem that will impact your income.

Previous participant's comments:

The workshop was a very positive experience.I can apply the principles taught and improve my presentation/communication ability” -Bronwyn Jenkins, Librarian·

At first I worried if the workshop would in fact help me and if I would have to do something embarrassing, but the atmosphere was welcoming, very practical and I learned a confidence that accepts mistakes.- Pietermaritzburg participant Oct 2010

Grow Your Voice

Move your audience to action

Like training for sports your body needs to unlearn bad habits and relearn new ones so that speaking invitingly and confidently becomes automatic.

Create emotional engagement by enticing the listener to keep on listening.
